Information for Commissions

The artist prefers to work through a gallery. If you are interested in commissioning a work, please contact one of the galleries listed above.

  1. Initial Contact: Project requirements and expectations are discussed including location (if important to the piece), size, type of design, and length of time needed for the project. Stitching time varies with complexity. About 185-225 square inches can be stitiched in one week. Designing, finishing, and framing add a few more days to the time required.
  2. Design presentation: Several designs will be worked on. The best two will be presented for each piece. Contracts and work arrangements are discussed at this time.
  3. Before the project is undertaken, 35% of the total cost must be paid to the artist. Prices range from $10 to $14 per square inch, depending on the complexity of the design. This is the same price as existing pieces. If travel is required, the artist must be reimbursed.
  4. Completion: The remainder of the artist’s fee is to be paid upon delivery of the piece(s). Additional costs might include transportation (if outside metropolitan Phoenix), and installation. The artist is not qualified to affix pieces to structures or walls, but will provide artistic supervision to persons contracted to do so.
